Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Real Estate Foreclosure State of Virginia

My house is up for sale and has a closing date set for April 20th but then got postponed to April 27th, 2007. Foreclosure has already started and a foreclosure sale has been set for April 24, 2007. Mortgage and Deed is in husbands name only, but the all foreclosure papers has both mine and my husbands name on it. Is this legal? Is there anyway to prolong the foreclosure sale from happening so the sale of the house can proceed? Thank You.

Echoing what has been posted, contact, or have an attorney contact, the lender ASAP about postponing the foreclosure.

The lender may agree to postpone the sale if they are convinced that the sale will go through. Or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy could be filed to stay the foreclosure, and then dismissed in time to go to closing.
